4.2: Multiplying with Matrices
[A]*[B] Dimensions: [A] (m x n)
[B] (n x m)
In order to multiply matrices [A]*[B], A's column must match B's rows. It's called defined when that is true.
The product's dimensions will be the number of A's rows & B's columns.
To multiply, you first multiply the 1st row in the first matrix by the 1st column in the second matrix. Add the products, and the sum goes into the 1st row, 1st column spot of the matrix in the answer.
Next, Multiply the 1st row by the 2nd column, then the 2nd row by the 1st column, etc. Ex:
| -23 | | -1 3 | [Dimensions are (3 x 2) & (2 x 2), so the product's dimension will be (3 x 2).]
| 1 -4 | * | -2 4 |
| 6 0 |
Multiply the bold numbers & add the products together. -2(-1) + 3(-2) = -4

| d e f | --> | d e f | d e
| g h i | --> | g h i | g h
det = (aei + bfg + cdh) - (ceg + afh + bdi)
Area of a Triangle: A = +/- .5(det)
- A must be positive.
- Order of coordinates when finding the determinants doesn't matter.
- Make the matrix (3 x 3) by adding an extra column of 1's as the third column. Ex: Find the area of the triangle with vertices at A(0, 2), B(2, 8), and C(5, 6). First find the det.
| 0 2 1 | 0 2 det = -22
| 2 8 1 | 2 8
| 5 6 1 | 5 6
det = -22 Next put it into the formula for the area of a triangle. Since the determinant is negative, and an area of a figure must be positive, multiply it by -.5 to make it positive. A = -.5( -22 )
A = 11 square units
